Well you my friend have a ton of character. Unbelievable build, just fantastic. Ron G

Hell, I can't even see my bench top. To many parts and peices all over...😆 🤣 😂 Ron G

Me likey. 👍 What diameter are they Gary? Ron G

Hey Gary I think so, Riders Hobbies. One in Grand Rapids and one in Flint (by me). Also there is Great Lakes Hobbies in Sterling Hghts. Ron G

Hey Gary I've been there before when we went to Traverse City to visit with my wife's brother. It was a nice shop. To bad it has to close. Ron G

Well you got her done, great job Pal. You made an ugly duck into a beautiful swan. Ron G

Hey Buddy How does it feel to finally get it done, must be a relief that you managed to finish it without any real issues. Fantastic build. Waiting to see what's coming next.😉 Ron G

That's one sweet Pete. Ron G

Yeah no kidding, plus I have an eye condition that makes everything off and on blurry. Thanks Brian. Ron G

Hey all I almost forgot to post these pictures. I did this awhile back, but didn't include them, so here are the pic's of the kit 5spd transmission and the 4spd "Brownie". rear view of the transmission. I added all the bolt heads & the "X". Top view of the transmission and all the bolt heads. View showing the bellhouse bolt heads. This view shows the transmission mounted to the engine. This view shows the trans/engine and the Brownie & shift linkage. This view shows the Brownie and the bolt heads I added to it. Rear view of the Brownie and bolt heads. Front view of the Brownie and bolt heads. This view shows the front & rear W/T's I'm now going to use (thanks to Jeff's recommendation). They are KFS 14:00 24.5 Continentals with 6 spoke front and planetary rears. These are 54.0" tall !!! 😱 and 14.0" wide. These are what came on the Pacific P12 & Hayes HDX. There freaking huge! But I think they will make the truck. Well that's it for now be back with more updates soon Ron G

Very Cool 😎 idea Gary. Ron G

Great job my friend. That is an amazing build. Ron G

Absolutely spectacular! Ron G

Thanks Gary

Hey Gary What did you use for the chrome paint on the battery boxes? Ron G

Looks absolutely marvelous Brian. I love the color. Ron G

Thanks Vincen I thought it was but wasn't sure. Ron G

Hey Brian I guess it could be a cat, but it's definitely not the 1693TA, I have one of those. Thanks Bud Ron G

Hey all I would like to know what engine this is. It's KFS's "Number 13" engine. I'm hoping it's an early model DD13 Detroit. Download from KFS site. 1/24 scale. All help greatly appreciated. Ron G

Thanks Brian Ron G

Brian fantastic as usual. I probably missed it, but what did you use for the rear drive tires? Ron G

Anything to help Pal. Ron G

Here you go. This view shows both of mine after sanding. This shows were I sanded. Each side sanded down to 0.032" thick. Now they look more realistic. I'll replace the bolt head detail before I paint them. Ron G

No problem here to help Pal. Ron G
